My motor is dropped, what parts would you change?

Any particular reason why? A 10 degree colder OEM one from a G37 should work fine. The Mishimoto one isn't a good idea, both because 160 is too cold and Mishimoto products are cheap Chinese garbage.

Cause Chinese parts.

But for the g37 one I don't really see the point of opening 10 degrees earlier if your engine coolant is going to be running higher than both actuation points.

I'm with you on that part. I'm shocked they're allowed to be a vendor here, considering how often their junk fails.

Oh, their whole marketing dept is impressive. Unfortunately their parts are made out of used Chinese beer cans by drunken toddlers. I could hold a welder in my *** and lay down a better bead than they did on the radiator I bought from them years back. Enough jacking Andrew's thread, though. Back on topic.
